Funny thing happened on the way to the Feinstein lynching……
After Grassley released this entirely ridiculous criticism of Feinstein’s transcript release:
"It’s totally confounding that Senator Feinstein would unilaterally release a transcript of a witness interview in the middle of an ongoing investigation — a witness that Feinstein herself subpoenaed last year for lack of cooperation," Grassley's press secretary said in a statement.
"Her action undermines the integrity of the committee’s oversight work and jeopardizes its ability to secure candid voluntary testimony relating to the independent recollections of future witnesses," Foy said.
Um, Chuck, that particular “volunteer” took out an op-ed in the NYTimes URGING the Senate to release their testimony.
Anywho, Dianne has gotten some unexpected support from Chuck’s very own party. Senator John Cornyn (R-Tex), and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee:
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) broke with colleague Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Tuesday in saying he was "glad" that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) released the Senate testimony of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.
“I think that’s a good idea," Cornyn said. "I’m glad that it was done.”
"I respect Chairman Grassley, and I don't really understand how this happened, but I do think more transparency is important," Cornyn said.
